Curiosity in the adult world. 

The physical changes of adolescence. Where do I fit in? Who do I want to be? 

Young people ask the question: AM I REAL? IS THIS REAL? HOW DO I KNOW I'M REAL? DOES IT LOOK REAL? DOES IT FEEL REAL? 

Searching, making something look real. It doesn't always feel real.
Concern for the way things look.

What is identity:

A PRISM WITH MULTIPLE FACETS. 
In psychology, sociology, anthropology and philosophy, identity is the conception, qualities, beliefs, and expressions that make a person (self-identity) or group (such as national identity and cultural identity) different from others. 

WAYS OF BEING IN THE WORLD. FRAGMENTED. Adolescence --> BRINGING INTO COHESIVE WHOLE.

Sense of self is constructed in a sense of relationship and self. 

GIFTED AND TALENTED SOCIALLY CONSTRUCTED
(LIKE FASHION)

If kids don't have prior experiences coming into kindergarten, they come off looking unknowing. 

ARTS ALLOW KIDS TO BEGIN TO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN WHAT THEY SEE, HOW THEY SEE, AND WHAT THEY FEEL. 

We do not paint and draw objects in the world but we paint and draw our relationships with them.
WHATEVER WE MAKE IN ART, THE MEANING OF THE WORK EXISTS IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE MAKER AND THE OBJECT. 

IDENTITY IS VERY FLEXIBLE. 

BEING LOOKED AT.
